Botox
Vancouver, WA
Fine lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases show up naturally over time, but they don’t have to define your look.
FDA-approved neuromodulators, such as Botox and Dysport, are proven to help relax facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, softening your expression without compromising your ability to express yourself. At Camas Med Spa in Vancouver, Washington, we provide neuromodulator treatments that go beyond cosmetic purposes. From smoothing moderate to severe frown lines to managing chronic migraine or excessive sweating, our aesthetic nurse injectors are here to help you look and feel more at ease every day. We’ve been voted the #1 med spa in Vancouver, WA, for a reason: personalized, result-driven care rooted in medical expertise and aesthetic artistry. Book a consultation to explore if botulinum toxin treatments are right for you.
Botox is a prescription treatment made from botulinum toxin type A, a refined protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the facial muscles responsible for creating expression lines. Botulinum neurotoxin has been widely used in both cosmetic procedures and therapeutic care for decades, backed by clinical trials and proven safety. At Camas Med Spa, we use it to help our clients feel more confident, whether that means fewer lines or relief from medical conditions like tension-related headaches.
Dysport, like Botox, is a type of neurotoxin that blocks muscle contractions, essentially relaxing the muscles under your skin. It’s a noninvasive way to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines (those vertical lines between your eyebrows). Because of its more diffuse consistency, Dysport is often ideal for treating facial wrinkles in larger areas, like horizontal forehead lines. At Camas Med Spa, we offer personalized cosmetic treatments with both Botox and Dysport, as well as treatments to relieve medical conditions like migraines, excessive sweating, and jaw pain associated with TMJ disorder.
At Camas Med Spa, every visit begins with a personalized consultation with one of our highly trained injectors. We'll ask you to tell us about your goals, assess potential treatment areas, and review any medical conditions to ensure that Botox or Dysport is a good fit. Then, we'll create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
During the procedure, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the treatment area using a fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. We may apply numbing cream if needed, but most people find the process very tolerable. A Botox or Dysport treatment is typically done in under 30 minutes, and you can return to most of your daily activities right away.
Neurotoxin treatments are well-known for reducing facial wrinkles, but Botox is also used to treat a variety of medical conditions. At Camas Med Spa, our expertise includes both cosmetic and therapeutic uses, including:
Botox and Dysport are used to smooth out lines caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as frown lines (glabellar lines) between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines (wrinkles on the sides of the nose when smiling), lip lines (also called smoker’s lines, vertical lines around the lips), chin dimpling, and neck bands.
Botox Lip Flip is performed by injecting six to eight units of Botox (or similar neurotoxins) into your lip muscle, allowing it to relax and letting your top lip gently lift and “flip” upward in about a week.
Botox Masseters can be cosmetic and therapeutic for facial slimming, decreased teeth clenching/grinding, and jaw pain (TMJ).
Botox for Excessive Sweating helps hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) by decreasing the activity of the sweat glands. Treatment typically lasts up to six months.
Botox for Frontal Migraines is used for instant relief of migraines and tension headaches. Injection sites include the temples, forehead, glabella, and masseters. Relief can vary from 2-4 months, depending on the dose.
Botox targets platysmal bands by injecting a neurotoxin directly into the platysma muscle. This temporarily blocks nerve signals, allowing the muscle to relax and soften the appearance of vertical neck bands. The result is a smoother neck with a more youthful, defined jawline. Effects are temporary, generally lasting 3–4 months, and follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the results.
What Are the Benefits of Botox?
Botox and Dysport injections offer both cosmetic and medical benefits when performed by our qualified provider. At Camas Med Spa, we use Botox and Dysport to help you smooth wrinkles while preserving your facial expressions. Botox injections also prevent deeper lines from forming by relaxing overactive muscles early. Additionally, neurotoxin treatments can improve quality of life by managing chronic migraine, jaw pain, severe underarm sweating, or other sweating from hyperhidrosis.
Botox and Dysport allow you to enjoy visible refreshment without surgery, with benefits lasting 3-4 months between touch-up treatments. Botox also combines well with other cosmetic treatments, including hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, to provide more comprehensive rejuvenation tailored to your unique needs and facial anatomy. We'll help you develop a treatment plan personalized to you.
Most adults are eligible for Botox or Dysport treatments.
These quick and easy injectable treatments are a popular option for smoothing out moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles or dealing with functional issues like muscle spasms or excessive sweating. Younger patients can also use Botox to prevent visible signs of aging.
You should not receive botulinum toxin injections if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a history of allergic reactions to the ingredients. We take your safety seriously and will ensure any treatment aligns with your full health history.
Most people resume normal activity right after receiving Botox injections. We will provide clear aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal results.
It’s important to avoid rubbing the injection site, lying down flat, or engaging in intense exercise for a few hours. You might notice mild swelling or redness at the treatment area or tiny bumps at the injection site that disappear within an hour or two. Over the following days, muscle activity in the treatment area slows down, and the full benefits of your treatment will emerge.
Most patients begin seeing results from Botox injections within 3 to 5 days, with full results developing over 10 to 14 days. You can expect smoother skin, softer expressions, and a more rested appearance that looks like you, just more refreshed.
If you're using botulinum toxin for therapeutic reasons, like treating chronic migraine or jaw pain, results may vary slightly or develop over several sessions. Your CMS aesthetic nurse injector will let you know what to expect from your specific treatment.
The effects of Botox usually last about 3–4 months and can be touched up to keep your skin looking its most youthful and refreshed. With regular use, you may need fewer units or less frequent treatments as your muscles adjust to treatment. Botox can also slow the formation of new lines and wrinkles, making it a great addition to your regular skincare routine.
From cosmetic refinement to real symptom relief, botulinum toxin treatment works best when guided by both experience and artistry.
At Camas Med Spa, we personalize each Botox therapy session based on your needs and goals. Whether you're here for cosmetic treatments or support for medical conditions, you’ll feel heard, seen, and cared for.

Yes. Botox is an FDA-approved treatment and has been studied in numerous clinical trials. When used properly by medical professionals, it is considered very safe for both cosmetic procedures and certain medical conditions.
Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neuromodulators used to soften fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing targeted facial muscles. While they work in similar ways, there are subtle differences between the two that can affect how they perform based on individual needs.
Onset & Duration: Dysport may begin working a little faster in some patients, while Botox’s effects may feel more gradual. Both typically last 3–4 months, but this can vary from person to person.
Spread & Precision: Dysport tends to spread slightly more, which may be ideal for larger areas, whereas Botox offers more localized precision, great for targeting specific muscles.
Dosage Units: The number of units required will differ between the two, but this doesn’t affect effectiveness—just a difference in formulation.
Your Treatment, Tailored to You
Both Botox and Dysport are excellent options. Your aesthetic nurse injector will consider your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and how your body may respond to each product to recommend the best choice for you. Whether it's Botox, Dysport, or a combination, the goal is always natural, refreshed results that align with your unique vision.
